Official "Life Is Long" Lyrics:

Yeah
You Know When Songs Are Just So Deep

Sharpen my pen like a pencil on instrumentals
don't got to worry God got us on incidentals
came a long way from the Challenger as a rental
Dreaming of Higher Purpose
dodging pensions and memos
retiring or who hiring ain't inspiring
Living on Terms of Our Writing is where the fire Is
We Call It LITT
Be Confident You Legit
Only You and God is needed to validate what You Aspiring
To Be
back in 2015
I was a KiDD with a Dream
I'm still a KiDD with a Dream and Now a Team
focus on journey
destination is worthy
but this moment right here is the gift I get to wake up to
Grateful to God and You
from here inside this booth
I get to share my truth
with every home
pray you never be alone
and these records really resonate
thoughts flowing like a levee break
words stream never hesitate
we get it all from the same source
different papers but the same course
Student Of Life I got the JanSport
it's December as I'm writing this
New Beginnings when the Timing Hit
I feel it all like it's right here
in my right ear
in my left is the 808
and my heart heals in every break
so much room in here to levitate

We Always Knew We'd Take This Long
Is Forever Too Long
When The Moment Is On
Always
Our Dreams Are Who We Will Become
Just As Long We Want
For As Long As We Want
Be Whoever We Want

You know sometimes
sometimes when I would think about this I think I
would be intimidated by how long this would take
forgetting that
all I ever really wanted was
to take my time doing this
spend my life talking to you

Yeah
so
what's that dream for you
I mean really
what else are you going to do

We Always Knew We'd Take This Long
Is Forever Too Long
When The Moment Is On
Always
Our Dreams Are Who We Will Become
Just As Long We Want
For As Long As We Want
Be Whoever We Want


#MichaelOnabolu #LifeIsLong

I normally write an eloborate and free flowing [i.e. long] thank you to try and come as close as possible to expressing my gratitude for everyone involved in making this possible. This time I prepared something succinct (at least by my standard...haha). Thank you...:

"In a paradox where life can seem short and finite, a moment is infinite and forever at the same time.

Fleeting in its memory is our separation of time passing. The reality of time is that nothing stays the same, and yet everything is, and infinitely open to change at all times.

When times are good, the present is now, time feels nonexistent, and in a way, I am grateful life is short.

When times feel hard, a moment feels like forever, and put in perspective, I am grateful to remember that life is long.

Thank you to everyone in these videos, Karl, in creating these videos, Brandon in creating this song, all our love ones, and all on this collective journey of life.

God, Family, Friends, and All. I Thank You.

Thank you Tian. My friend. May You Rest and Live in Eternal Life.

Amen.
